I too, have a niatal hernia and have had it for at least 30 years. They won't do surgery unless it is necessary. You do have to watch what you eat and gaining weight seems to make it more miserable. I am a female - age 60 and I also suffer from acid reflux from time to time. I sleep with my head elevated and it really bothers me when I eat late in the evenings. I usually have a miserable night. Hope you can find something that helps.
